The communities bordering Kibira National Park are very numerous and poor, from where they engage in illicit harvesting of biological resources, thus degrading this natural ecosystem.

To remedy this problem, the project has undertaken actions likely to alleviate the poverty of these communities in order to preserve both animal and plant biodiversity in the park: this includes the breeding of small livestock. This would very quickly help them to have more income by increasing animal and vegetable production.

Goat farming is one of the income-generating activities as an alternative to the biological resources of the park for coastal communities.

Since the project has chosen as an option to support these communities in order to improve their well-being, raising small livestock is therefore timely while maintaining the park's biodiversity.

Obviously, the choice of the type of breeding to do depends on the tradition of the communities, some preferring pigs, others goats. In the municipalities of Muramvya, Muruta and Rugazi, the project has just distributed additional goats: 115 in Muramvya, 88 in Muruta and 115 in Rugazi.
